6 bed detached house for sale

Aldridge Road Villas, London W11

A handsome Victorian home arranged over five floors, Aldridge Road Villas has space in abundance. Off the entrance hall, two formal reception rooms make an impression. One faces southwest, basking in natural light through a large bay window. Period features have been well preserved – from the grand stone fireplace to the ornate cornicing. Alcove bookcases capitalise on the generous ceiling height while patterned wallpaper adds an opulent finish. Beyond, a second space is painted in oatmeal tones, and opens onto a decked terrace via two sets of French doors.

Below, the lower ground floor is the social hub of the home. A large, classic-style kitchen, dining and reception room is configured with family life in mind. Wooden floors, a range cooker and shaker cabinetry create a warm, country kitchen feel. Gather around the breakfast bar or in the dining area, which leads to a low-maintenance split-level patio garden. A versatile adjoining room would make an ideal TV snug or home office.

The first floor is dedicated to a standout principal suite. Finished in soothing blue hues, the sleeping area overlooks the garden, while a walk-in wardrobe flows through to a spacious en suite bathroom complete with a separate shower, bathtub and twin vanity unit. Five further bedrooms and two bathrooms are found on the second and third floors, four of which come with fitted storage. There’s also a small kitchenette, ideally located for morning coffees in bed.

Equidistant from Golborne Road, Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove, Aldridge Road Villas sits in an enviable location. Spend the weekends browsing the local antiques and food stalls, or strolling along the canal to Little Venice, picking up supplies from Golborne Deli & Wine Store on the way back. The best of the neighbourhood’s restaurants are also on the doorstep, from Dorian to The Ledbury and Straker’s. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to pubs too – take your pick from The Pelican, The Cow and The Westbourne.
